With his own team, he hasn't. He has been slightly above average. No title without Cowhers players.

And my point was that Tomlin is nothing more than a slightly above average coach, and you proved me right. Cowher inherited a mess, Tomlin was handed the keys to a Porsche. Sorry I got your blood pressure so high.

I can agree with this.

I apologize, I didn't realize "above average" was the goal of a football program.

Fine, but you proved my overall point in your next to the last sentence, "maintain the team as above average" So I stand by my original post, he has done squat since losing Cowhers players.

I honestly think your comparison to Shula is far more laughable than the Coker comparison

The Coker comparison was more to compare the fact that Tomlin hasn't won the big one with a team of his own making. I am originally from PA and nearly everyone I know are Steelers fans, most of which are season ticket holders. None of them are happy with what he has done on his own.

Again, I didn't say he is bad, but he simply isn't better than above average. He is 3-5 in the playoffs since Cowhers teams have disappeared. He had a couple great 12-13 win seasons, and just as many 8 win seasons. As I said, average to above average.

Tomlin is to the Steelers what Coker is to the Hurricanes. Won big with a team built by someone else, and is average to slightly above average on his own. Not saying he is a bad coach, but he isn't anywhere near the top.

Yup, 2 superbowls within 4 years of Cowher leaving. Once Cowhers guys started to leave, what has he done? Nothing, and finished with 8 wins 3 times and 9 wins once in the past 9 years.

Mike Tomlin has done exactly squat since Bill Cowhers coattails have gone out of reach.
